RESOLUTION NO. 10-12-09-25: TO ESTABLISH THE POSITION OF COUNTY ATTORNEY AS FULL-TIME EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2010. WHEREAS, over the past several years the county has experienced an increase in the frequency of serious crimes that have resulted in subsequent and successful but very time-consuming prosecutions conducted by the County Attorney; and WHEREAS, there has been a somewhat parallel increase in the amount of civil and other non-criminal legal work expected to be performed by the County Attorney’s office and that this increase is likely to continue given the ongoing increase in the amount of regulation imposed by other levels of government as well as at the county level; and WHEREAS, the County Attorney has continued through his terms of service to make himself available essentially twenty-four hours (24) per day, seven (7) days per week especially to law enforcement officials; and to work on an almost full-time, if not, in fact, on a full-time basis at a level of compensation that is clearly out of line with the amount of work he has and is continuing to provide; and WHEREAS, making the County Attorney’s position officially full-time may become an opportunity to reduce some of Chickasaw County’s other legal and quasi-legal costs by first making use of the County Attorney’s counsel; and WHEREAS, defining more clearly the expectations of the position in terms of the amount of time required to execute the duties of the Office may make more likely the ability of the County to attract qualified and competent attorneys to seek the position thus helping to ensure quality legal service; BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED TO establish the position of Chickasaw County Attorney as full-time at annual salary of $82,000, effective January 1, 2010.Passed and Approved this 12th day of October, 2009.
